MacPractice Releases MacPractice MD 5.1

Integrated, Secure, HIPAA-Compliant Communications and Faxing
Integrated Online Patient Services, Registration, and Reputation Marketing

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - MacPractice, the leading Apple developer of practice management and clinical software for medical offices that prefer Macs, iPhones and iPads, today announced the release of MacPractice MD 5.1. The new version features integrated HIPAA-compliant communication, faxing and Reputation Marketing, powered by BirdEye.

The leading OS X native medical software, ICD-10 capable MacPractice 5.1 is compatible with Yosemite and Mavericks and interoperates with MacPractice's iOS native Patient Check In, Clipboard and iEHR Apps for iPad, as well MacPractice Interface for iPad and MacPractice Interface for iPhone.

"We've studied the market and collaborated with our clients. MacPractice MD 5.1 has the best integrated online patient portal services, including online Registration and EHR Forms and HIPAA-compliant, secure messaging," said Mark Hollis, MacPractice co-founder and CEO.

"With MacPractice MD, patients can use iPads as well as our integrated online patient services to enter demographics and clinical information," Hollis continued. "Also, doctors and assistants can review patient-entered structured data, visit notes and images on an iPad with their patient. With MacPractice 5.1, doctors avoid expensive web service contracts by using superior online solutions available at a lower cost, with better software integration, support and functionality that can only be provided by their practice management software developer."

MacPractice's Scheduling Ability has been rewritten to boost speed and performance in the office, especially for remote offices.

MacPractice 5.1 sets a new standard for integrated practice communications. Besides integrated faxing and HIPAA secure messaging powered by Updox and MacPractice, MacPractice plans to provide every service available from third parties to its users at a lower cost and with tighter integration and greater security, along with web services not available from other vendors:

Avoid HIPAA penalties up to $50,000 per incident (e.g. per single noncompliant email or text) in 2015, which is being called The Year of Audits, by using integrated HIPAA compliant, secure communication services.

For practices without a web site, MacPractice plans to create and host a one-page site for $10 monthly. MacPractice 5.1 has new practice management reports. MacPractice's preferred vendor for phone, text, and/or email patient reminders is AutoRemind, which is tightly integrated with the MacPractice Schedule and includes automatic appointment status updates. MacPractice partners with Transworld to provide in-application collection services superior to those offered by web services that cannot write back to practice management software.

Purchasers of MacPractice MD 5.1 receive $500 off or $1000 off for an EHR "trade-up" until December 31, 2015!
